Yes your wages can be garnished for a federal student loan even in the state of Texas. No court order required. They can also seize your tax return as well.

Assigning the debt to your spouse will not affect you being garnished. A divorce decree is not enforceable by your creditor. You will still owe it...they cannot pursue your ex.

Just sending any payment will not stop them from garnishing your wages. It is already possible that a lein has been placed on your 2010 taxes depending on when you defaulted.

Call them and tell then what you can afford based on your budget.Provide proof of your income and budget if they ask.
